What is electronic monitoring, and who is it for?
A device worn on the ankle that records where someone is and reports it to a monitoring center. It is used when a court has made location a condition of release, of a sentence, or of a bond.
At Florida GPS Monitoring, we specialize in providing integrated location monitoring configured to the terms of the court's order, designed for accuracy, reliability, and peace of mind. Whether you are a court, an attorney, a bail bondsman, or an individual in need of monitoring services, we deliver advanced and dependable GPS devices.
We know every situation is different, which is why we've made our programs as flexible as possible. Monitoring is arranged to fit specific requirements — including pre-trial release, house arrest, bail bond conditions, restraining orders, and post-conviction monitoring. The device fitted is determined by the court order.
With years of proven experience and a commitment to excellence, our team ensures that every device is installed, monitored, and reported with precision. From enrollment to final completion, we stand by our clients every step of the way.

Frequently asked questions
What is electronic monitoring?
A GPS device worn on the ankle that records a person's location and reports it to a monitoring center. It is used as a condition of pre-trial release, as part of a sentence, as a condition of bond, and in some restraining order cases.
Who decides whether someone goes on a monitor?
The court, in almost all cases. Private monitoring also begins with a court order — what changes is who provides the monitoring, not who decides. Monitoring with no court order at all is voluntary, seen mostly in restraining-order situations.
